Gianluigi Buffon: 8.5/10

Gianluigi Buffon was brilliant for Juventus in goal as he commanded the box well and saved multiple strikes from Leo Messi. The Italian looks like he can play for another decade.

Juan Cuadrado: 8/10

Juan Cuadrado was a constant menace down the right flank. He used his speed and dribbling abilities to cause Barcelona all sorts of problems. He was involved in Juventus' first two goals as he played in Ronaldo for the first and drifted in the cross for the second.

Danilo: 7/10

This was a solid performance from Danilo. The Brazilian stuck to his defensive duties well as he was tasked with marking Griezmann. The defender also got forward and joined the attack as an auxiliary full-back on many occasions.

Leonardo Bonucci: 7.5/10

This was a commanding performance from Leonardo Bonucci as the Italian dealt with everything Barcelona could muster. The Juventus captain marshalled his defense to a clean sheet against one of the world's best teams.

Matthijs De Ligt: 7/10

Matthijs De Ligt put in a strong performance as he played on the left side of the three-man defense. The young Dutchman did well to thwart the Barcelona attack, and his distribution out from the back was good as well.

Alex Sandro: 6.5/10

The Brazilian fullback looked a little rusty after having a torrid time because of injuries this season. Alex Sandro stuck to his task well, having to mark Messi on many occasions and having to provide width to Juventus' attack.

Weston McKennie: 8/10

Weston McKennie scored a stunner for Juventus

The young American had an all-action performance in midfield as he got forward at every opportunity. Weston McKennie was full of running throughout the game, and that paid off as he scored a breathtaking volley for Juventus' second on the night.

Arthur: 7/10

Arthur put in a shift against his former side as he played in a deeper role against Barcelona. The Brazilian helped Juventus win the midfield battle as he fought tooth and nail for every ball against a talented Barcelona midfield.

Aaron Ramsey: 8/10

Aaron Ramsey put in a great performance as he played in his preferred No.10 role for Juventus. The Welshman ran things from midfield in a dynamic performance as Barcelona couldn't do anything to stop him.

Alvaro Morata: 6.5/10

Alvaro Morata provided a great foil for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spaniard worked hard to keep the Barcelona defenders busy all night. He had a header go just over the bar as Juventus relied on his hold-up play all night.

Cristiano Ronaldo: 8.5/10

Always great to return to Spain and to Catalunya, always hard to play in Camp Nou against one of the best teams I ever faced. Today we were a team of Champions! A true, strong and united family! Playing like this, we have nothing to fear until the end of the season... Let’s go! pic.twitter.com/PivPpJ3SLh

— Cristiano Ronaldo (@Cristiano) December 8, 2020

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have a spectacular performance against Barcelona. The forward was often frustrated by Barcelona's backline, but that didn't stop him from leaving his mark on the game.

Ronaldo made a good run into the Barcelona box, only to get brought down by the defender for the first penalty, which he dispatched easily. He was as clinical with his second penalty as well. Difference maker.

Adrien Rabiot: 6/10

Rodrigo Bentancur came on with Rabiot as he replaced Arthur. He picked up where the Brazilian left off and did well defensively in the center of the park.

Paulo Dybala replaced Morata in the 85th minute. He did not have enough time to make an impact on the game.

Federico Bernardeschi: 5/10
